Exploring the life of a unique figure on Martha's Vineyard, this book delves into Nancy Luce's struggles as a poor, ill woman who found solace in her chickens and poetry. Living from 1814 to 1890, she self-published her verses to share with summer visitors. Walter Magnes Teller's 1984 appreciation, supported by the Dukes County Historical Society, reflects on Luce's resilience and the broader plight of sensitive individuals facing adversity. The New York Times noted the book's poignant exploration of those seeking to leave a legacy despite their hardships.
